Reader Reviews Arranger/conductor Russ Garcia is a bit over the top in some of the arrangements, specifically in his use of the harp, but Stan really in-scends, sliding into the groove on some of the heavy treatment - particularly on Benny Golson's "Whisper Not", and "Round Midnight"; unlike Bird, who transcends; choosing instead to play above and beyond his given venue. "Early Autumn" is really luscious, and the best cut on this half of the venture. If you want the very best recording of this beautiful tune, check out Stan's version on "The Best Of The West Coast Sessions" - it is heavenly. "It Never Entered My Mind" deserves mention here as well for sheer romantic treatment. The "Voices" half of the session finds Stan in a more relaxed mode; however, after hearing Brazilian treatment of vocal arrangements, as done in Jobim's later work with "Bando Novo", I find the 'choir' to be more of a distraction than a partnership, although the feel of the tunes are more to my liking, as is Stan's samba playing. It's not the concept of the vocal accompanyment that I don't like, it is the execution. Since these are two seperate sessions, seperated by 6 years, I would have to give "Cool Velvet" 4 stars, and "Voices. 3 stars.
